Ta a/ZZ whom it may cancern:

Be it known that L GEORGE W. McGrLL, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York city, in the county of New York and State of New York, haVe invented certain new and useful ImproVements in the Construction of Scarf and Tidy Pins, Studs, and such like Articles and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the inVention, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, and to the figures and letters of reference marked thereon, in which' Figure 1 is a Vertical section of the shank of the pin with its head bent in form to re ceiVe V a flat metal cap. Fig. 2 is a Vertical section of the pin, having a convex cap closed upon its loop, and drawn on the line w x of Fig. 3, which represents a bottom View of the same. Fig. 4 is a perspective Vertical View of acapped pin, having its shank twisted spirally to form a screw-stud; and Fig. 5 is a similar Vertical View, showing the capped head of the pin turned over a line parallel with its straight shank to form a scarf or tidy pin.

The object of my invention is to provide' a secure, simple, and cheap mode of attaching together the head or cap and shank of the pin.

The article is constructed as follows: A piece of wire of suitable size has one of its ends bent or fashioned to form a ring or loop, a, and its other portion bent down therefrom to form ashank or penetrating portion, b, terminating in a pin-point, as shown in Fig. 1. The

wire thus fashioned is placed in an ordinary (No model) button-capping machine, and a metallic cap, A, is placed over its ring endand closed thereon in the ordinary manner, the Wire forming the ring or loop being closed in the folded-in edge of the cap, as shown in Figs. 2, 4, and 5. In fashioning the ring or loop to be capped,

the wire forming the shank b may be brought l back for a distance within the loop before being bent down, as shown at a' in Fig. 1, and the portion a',where aconvex cap is used, may be bent Vup to support the cap, as shown in Figs. 2 and 4 5 or it maybe bent outward from the loop a,when the shank b is bentover' parallel with the loop, as shown 'in Fig. 5, and the shank may be bent down at a right or other angle 'from the loop a, or twisted spirally therefrom in the manner shown in Fig. 4; or it may be given a Serpentine or other twist, and the loop a may be given a square or other form to fit and receiVe asimilarly-formed cap without aVoiding my inVention,which relates
